MUMBAI: DreamWorks Studios has acquired the film rights to Matthew Quick‘s latest work entitled ‘The Good Luck of Right Now‘.

The story follows the intertwined lives of four people, who are all outsiders in their own right. However, in the wake of grieving over pain and loss in their lives, they come together to form the most unlikely family.

Harper-Collins pre-empted the manuscript for publishing in the US and Canada. They are targeting Spring 2014 to launch the book.

"We immediately sparked to Matthew Quick‘s book and the heart and humor which is infused in his storytelling," said DreamWorks Studios President of Production Holly Bario. "All of us at DreamWorks are excited to begin developing this story and look to make it a priority at the studio."

The studio has also acquired the rights of Quick‘s young adult novels ‘Boy 21‘, ‘Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock‘, and ‘Sorta Like a Rock Star‘.

Matthew Quick is represented by CAA in conjunction with Douglas Stewart of Sterling Lord Literistic, who simultaneously negotiated the publishing rights for the book to Harper Collins.
